I > can't get a hold of anything here in the midwest( Kansas) and I'd > like to hear something from him. Mark King has solo stuff available??? Oops, sorry--yes of course. Influences is simply one of the most incredible albums of all time. Get it. One Man is also quite good, although it's a bit more of an adult-contemporary type album. If you can play mp3 files, go to http://www.neurotoxin.net/~djames/Files/Level42/Mpeg3/ and there are a couple of songs there from the album. Still need to workover that page though... :) > Anyway what I was going to ask was whether or not anyone knows whether or > not there are any tickets left for any of MK's gigs at the Jazz Cafe in > Camden Town in November? If someone could let me know I'd be grateful. Well I bought some tickets a few weeks ago, but since Ticketmaster UK should be a fairly local call for you, I suggest calling them and finding out! > I want to know if anyone has the "love in a paceful world" video, or any > from the guaranteed/forever now era. Well, go to the Real Video section of http://www.forevernow.com and you can see Love in a Peaceful World. Many more videos to come! ------------------------------ Subject: Re: Level iems For Sale From: Julian Morey Organization: Club 21 Date: Sun, 16 May 1999 21:24:57 +0100 Hi, I have the following Level 42 items for sale CD Singles: Guaranteed: £4 Take Care Of Yourself: £5 Overtime £4 CD album Starring At The Sun: £3 12" Vinyl Singles: "World Machine" (Shep Pettibone Remix) this is the US import and is mint: Offers please £?

From: "Adam Hankinson" Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 00:37:02 +0100 Hey everyone, In less than 6 hours I will wake up drive to Birmingham and hop on a plane..... am I excited? hell yes! In fact as you read this, I'll be somewhere over the atlantic. Just brings it home, how a bands music can bring together people from all over the globe. Its amazing that I have gained many wonderful friends all over the world through this digest, but then again I have also made good friends with people who live just down the road...... Thanks L42 and thanks EJH. Sorry, Maybe I shouldn't have had last drinkie!! hee hee.... Just want to say....... See all the NY festers in a few weeks.

From: powerfm @ mail.netconnect.com.au Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 09:54:22 +1000 Good Morning, folks!!! >Is there such a thing as the wrolds >fastest bassist??? My gut response...who cares?? (I'm still trying though!!) Bass player U.S. used to take the piss out of some dude called Adrian Davison who clocked himself at 31 notes per second, but would you call that "Bass" playing per se??? "Blur" playing seems more apt. Regardless of the flash King Mark and bro. Marcus are capable of, their carefully crafted MUSIC is what hits us first!! Oh wait.....you wanted to know about the "wrolds" fastest bassist...oh, I can't answer that.... Oh, behave!! Spaldo ------------------------------ Subject: One Man t-shirt From: "Mike Bartlett" Date: Sun, 16 May 1999 20:49:18 PDT Hey guys.... ....firstly, I just have to reproduce this question, from Tracy Sellers' posting, in Saturday 17 April's digest: "I want to know if anyone has listened to Mark King's solo stuff." I have no smart comment - I just wanted to see it written down again. Anyway, the reason for this (rare) mail is to ask if anyone can get hold of a One Man t-shirt for me - name your price but don't be silly. How about an Australian pressing of 'Level 42' on vinyl? I offered this a while ago in return for a One Man poster, but no-one came up with the goods! I'd actually rather have the poster, because it won't fade and shrink in the wash! If anyone can help me out, please DON'T email me at Hotmail - I rarely check it these days - use my work address, which is bartlettm @ matp.newsltd.com.au. Fantastic crowd........Mike (Sydney City Milkman) P.S.1. One Man has been released here in Australia - saw some local pressings the other day in Sydney's HMV store. P.S.2. Tracy, there's no venom in the first part of this email, it's pure juvenile sarcasm! P.S.3. Remember - not the Hotmail address!! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Subject: Dialogue with Death From: Marcus Bone Date: Mon, 10 May 1999 08:41:57 +0100 Yo guys, Just thought I'd let you know the ISBN number of "Dialogue with Death" which was the inspiration for "Hours by the Window" (USA compliance notice: you do not need to pronounce the "ue" on dialogue) Anyway : 0 333 347765 Also why the feck didn't Eagle Rock release Changing of the Guard as the first bloody single??

Ratcliffe" Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 09:41:14 +0100 Hi all From a sunny Manchester in the North West of England. Famous for being the city where it always rains. Don't you believe it. Although, I am proud of my home town, I have to say, also, don't believe the new GUINNESS book of British Hit Singles (12th Ed). On page 261 it says, "Level 42 Critically acclaimed Manchester band" Bye Dave (200 miles north of I.o.W.) ****************************************************************** David A.
